This is my first tab, I felt that it needed to be done because the current
chord one is off. There is no B chord in this song; just F#m, A, D & E. I
use the barre chord A ("A2") in some places just because I find it easy for
the quick walk up from F#m. I placed the chord changes as relatively close
as I could to the lyric being said at the time.
